Binge Watching.





SO, I have been doing a lot of binge watching lately due to being sick and generally having a bit of a shit time.

I am a big horror fan, BUT, I think it is actually really hard to be a horror fan. Most horrors are shit.

I mean Paranormal Activity started out looking promising...then they gave it a story line. I know this sounds ridiculous but I hate that it had a story line. I mean, I think it would have just been so much scarier if they were just haunted. You know what I mean? Things are so much scarier when there is no explanation and stuff is just happening. Yeah, it was attached to her and that's fine, but could it not have just attached itself to her because it's an evil demon and can? It couldn't just pick her and that be that? Ugh, there was so much room for my imagination to run wild with that but the story line ruined it for me. Bad times.


I did watch The Possession Of Michael King the other day with my mate, he thought it was pretty scary, and it kinda was....until like 3/4 of the way in. I don't wanna ruin this for you so I won't, but once again, if I had just seen whatever happening and didn't hear it too, it would have been much scarier. I did think it was alright though.

Obviously this is just my opinion and I can scare the crap out of myself pretty easily if I want to, but horror films lack that for me. Once you clarify that there is a justified reason for these 'happenings' shall we say? then I lose all interest and you just ruined the whole movie for me, it's not longer scary.


I understand this doesn't work for everything. Like The Conjuring, watched it soooo many times and I think it's actually pretty decent but why couldn't it just be like 'Oh, this house has evil spirits in it'....etc, I don';t need to know why they're there or about curses just OMG THIS IS HAPPENING WHAAAAAAT??? Mad, how scary.

I don't know. I am in no way a film expert. I just think I would like to finish a film sometime still being scared and playing parts over and over in my head when I go to bed and thinking about what else could have happened?? You know?

Anyway.



All About Evil. Not a horror as such. Well yeah, I guess it kind of fits into Comedy Horror. I seriously LOVE this film. I obviously don't watch it to get scared but hey, Natasha Lyonne is in it (I ADORE her), and I just think it has a really cool old school feel about it! Even the colours and the setting have that old horror vibe.


I have also become addicted to Parks and Recreation. I mean addicted. I love it. It never fails to make me laugh. The Pawnee Zoo ep has to be my favourite so far!! I just love Amy Poehler so, so much. Aubrey Plaza is hiarious in it too, her character doesn't really do much in the first season but she gets so much better!!



Also loving Banged Up Abroad. This is my mates doing. He's been watching it again and now that it's on youtube it's always there so if I'm bored I'll shove one on. It makes me so angry though, because Everyone's like 'OMG it must be so horrible being locked up abroad and the prisons must be awful' but er....like 75% of the time, it's like, 'Well, maybe don't do shit you know is illegal??'. Snakes on a Plane. What an ep. I fumed through this whole episode and literally would punch this guy if I saw him. Unlikely, but I would.

Anything you've been loving lately???

InstaWeek2

Wow, I'm actually carrying on with this instagram thing... 

SO yeah, it's not been the most eventful of weeks...well, actually it has but these pictures didn't quite capture the good times, because I was, well, you know, living them haha.



Ahh this week has been pretty pleasant actually. It started well and has ended well!


Tuesday was steak night so me and two of my bestest went for steak and a drink and to watch a bit of football.  Marvellous as usual and so nice to catch up! Then one of my friends left and Vicky and I went off to see our good bud Ogo at open mic in Hannah's bar and had a cocktail or two!

Then I took a picture of the 'Wig-Wam' Cathedral while we waited for our cab. I love that about Liverpool, you stand on Hope Street and you can see a Cathedral either end! I think that's pretty special!

SO I have this thing for Robert De Niro. I love him. So I watched The Deer Hunter. If you haven't seen it, you should give it a gander it's pretty bloody good!!

If you know me and are reading this then you'll probably be sick of my adoration for Natasha Lyonne. Ican't even help it though. I love her even more than De Niro. I just think she's incredible and I whole heartedly love her as Nicky in OITNB (obviously) but watching interviews with her and stuff, she's pretty amazing, and I totally want to be her best mate, and that accent!!! It's my favourite. (But yeah, LOVE Slums of Beverly Hills)

This was my Friday.

This is my best mate. My Nan. Janet. Took her shopping on Saturday morning, which is always hilarious because my Grandad does his own thing and walks off with the trolley and she's usually gabbing away and doesn't realise. Also, that cardigan she's wearing, I wore it to her house one time and she made me go buy her the same one. Twinz. 


Still couldn't get rid of the green tinge in my hair from the Washed Up Mermaid so I shoved a bottle of Rose on it again to try and fade it out again...hoping it works this time. So, yeah, I have pink hair at the minute!! Fun fun....

Saturday night. Well, Saturday night turned out to be a lot more than I expected. I haven't laughed that much in a long time! Spent the night listening to old music on YouTube and being hilariously serenaded until about 5am. It was the best. ever.

Had a lazy Sunday chilling with my family and trying to tune my little uke. Wish I could re-do the end of this week again right now. Definitely got Monday blues creeping in but I'm hoping for more of the same next week!!

Girl Crush #1 Juno Temple

Okay, I'll start off by saying I have a LOT of girl crushes.

I don't know why, but I really do.

Today I pick....... Juno Temple.



I absolutely adore Juno.

I can't remember the first film I saw her in, but I'm pretty sure it's her hair that made me love her so.

I love how she just wears it wild,  and when I've seen interviews with her she seems really... I don't know, sometimes I think she gets really animated and into it and then she can just be so chill and hippy like.

I am SO excited for Little Birds to come out, I need to see it right now.

Dirty Girl is a film I probably wouldn't have pictured her doing, but I'm so glad she did because I love her in it!

Kaboom! is one of my favourite films, it is so weird and whenever I put it on and watch it with someone who has never seen it before they just look at me like I'm mad....I think it's quite a funny film.

Here we go.....




Seriously love her so much!!

I'd love to be her mate, I think she'd be sooo much fun to have a drink with!!

You should definitely check out some of her films and the shoots she has done with Tyler Shields, they're pretty amazing.
